Midland police are searching for an SUV believed to be involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash Wednesday night that resulted in the death of a 27-year-old Midlander, according to a press release from the city.

The vehicle in question is dark-colored 2000 to 2010 Jeep Cherokee or Jeep Grand Cherokee with front-end damage and a missing passenger-side rearview mirror.

The crash occurred at about 11:59 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Midland Drive and Neely Avenue.

The investigation into the crash showed that a black Chevrolet Camaro was traveling southbound in the outside lane of Midland Drive, while an SUV was traveling southbound in the inside lane. The SUV struck pedestrian Francisco Iglesias, 27, knocking him to the ground, where he was then run over by the Camaro. The SUV fled the scene and Iglesias was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Reporter-Telegram records.

City of Midland spokesperson Sara Bustilloz said the police department will not press charges against the driver of the Camaro.

Iglesias’ next of kin have been notified, and police are asking for help identifying the SUV.

People with possible information are asked to call MPD at 432-685-7108.

Wednesday’s fatality marked the 31st death on roadways inside Midland County this year, according to Reporter-Telegram records.

October is now the deadliest month of year in Midland County, where a person has died nearly every 9 1/2 days on average, according to records. The six in October are the most since May 2013, when seven people died in accidents inside Midland County.

The last fatality occurred Sunday after a 40-year-old Harlingen man was ejected during a one-vehicle rollover crash on the north service road of Interstate 20.
